Abby got a new car. On Thursday we traded in the Explorer for a new Toyota Sienna. Yes it is a minivan. What has happened? We decided to get something that would be more practical for us with the little one. Ok it's not just for her. It was nice having the extra room period. We also went to a local smokehouse. It was pretty good. On Friday we got to really try the vehicle out and went to Cabelas. We only needed one tank of gas. That wouldn't have happened with the Explorer. Today we are taking it easy at home. It's crazy how you need those days to regroup. We had rain and thunderstorms last night and this morning. It was much needed rain.
